TRIETHANOLAMINE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Triethanolamine (TEA) is a viscous organic compound widely used in industrial and consumer products. It functions as an emulsifier, surfactant, and pH adjuster in various applications, including cosmetics, personal care products, detergents, and pharmaceuticals. Triethanolamine also acts as a corrosion inhibitor in metalworking fluids and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals. It is valued for its ability to stabilize emulsions and enhance product texture and performance. Proper handling and storage of triethanolamine are essential to prevent degradation and maintain its effectiveness. Safety measures include using protective equipment to avoid inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact, as exposure can cause irritation. Due to its multifunctional role and chemical stability, triethanolamine is a key ingredient in many formulations, contributing to product quality and performance across various industries.
